| Sometimes you can save the settlement company some money by understanding information like this. It is not probable that you can get all the recording info you need on-line, but at a minimum, you should know the recording requirements of the counties you service forward and backward. Another example is using a bit of foresight in preventing problems from occuring. I had a deed in package from husband and wife fka maiden name to themselves as husband and wife. I was able to copy the signature page from the mortgage she signed in her maiden name and put it in with the package. I had to notarize a combined signature, Jane Doe f/k/a Jane Smith on the deed. She only had married name id, but I was able to compare the signature against the existing signature for an identity match. I pointed out the procedure to the settlement agent when I returned the package. I think it may give my business a bit of priority over my competition who may have to call from the closing with and id problem. |

Carol would probably appreciate knowing that this issue exists.

I've been using the Acknowledgements I print from a CD-ROM I purchased from Notary Classes dot com's website. I wanted to let other notaries know that their forms do not consider margin requirements, such as in King County Washington, that get rejected and charged a $50 refiling fee.
The requirement appears to be slated to get additional fees as a scam by that county but an agency person told me this kind of thing happens all the time, including in certain parts of California.
It's not our job to know the margins of each county in the country of course, but at least equipped with this knowledge they will reject a loose certificate that doesn't conform as such, you can print out these certificates reducing their print size by choosing the feature in the print settings.
Sincerely yours,

Caution - within the recording requirements are further specifications for font size, and reducing the font might also get a document rejected.
I disagree that it's not our 'job' to know recording requirements, as it can make/break a mortgage/real estate transaction if the documents we've been hired to have executed end up non-recordable.
While the recording statutes are set by each State, each county or recording jurisdiction is free to interpret those & implement them accordingly. I've yet to run into a county recording office that does not post their recording requirements on their website. |
